It was in the mid to upper 40s F by the time I left home this morning. First ride to work in quite some time in just shorts. It was great! BTW, temps are soaring here. Forecast high is 64 today! That's crazy talk! Cooling down a little mid-week but then back up to 66 by Friday!

Did a little maintenance (new brake pads, cleaned and relubed the chain) and washed the bike this weekend. Amazing what a difference a couple hours putzing around working on the bike can make. Rode nicer, looked better, plus the new brake pads and cleaned up rims made for much better braking.

Probably the last time I do that with this bike, though. The LBS is supposed to be getting my LHT frame today, and I hope to pick it up in the next few days. Not sure when I'll get around to building it up since I need to juggle my schedule with the co-op's open hours, and I'll be out of town this coming weekend. Regardless, probably the last cleanup for my current ride. It's a donor bike for the LHT build.
